Pocket Sales Presents: Black Friday 2017

By Nick Vigdahl24 Nov 20173

Turkey! Pie! Football! Games! Family? Ok, so four out of five isn't bad. Thanksgiving in the United States marks the starting gun for the Christmas shopping season and mobile gaming is far from excluded. We see some of the biggest sales of the year around this time. So without further ado, feast your eyes and devices on this bevy of discounted games.

The GO games (iOS Universal and Android): $.99

Square Enix's GO series drops in price a few times a year, and now is no exception. If for some reason you STILL haven't tried them out, pick them up for a buck each:

Now for an Android-only sale, fantastic survival simulator gameDon't Starve is back down to its lowest price ever, just a buck. If you enjoy crafting and, you know, avoiding dying a gruesome death check it out.

Deckbuilding puzzle game Puzzle Strike is a highly interactive multiplayer game. Pick your strategy and work to foil that of your opponents. It came out in early 2016, yet this is its first sale ever and you can pick it up for half price.

Handelabra's turn… let's start with superhero vs. supervillain tabletop card game gone digital Sentinels of the Multiverse. It's loads of fun and full of even more content if you want it, just $2 for the base game.

Prison-escape simulator The Escapists is the most fun you'll have in prison…and a lot of fun in general too. There's crafting, plotting your escape, and giving some beat downs with the old bar of soap in a sock.

Back to Handelabra, we've got their recent release Bottom of the 9th for $4. Another digital convert, this one follows the last half inning of a baseball game between a scrappy, underdog home team and the favored visiting club.

The very XCOM-like Templar Battleforce is currently half off and if you're a fan of turn-based tactical games in space, it's really hard to beat. It was 2015's strategy-game-of-the-year on this site and scored four stars in our review. This one goes on sale on iOS fairly regularly but not so much on Android for some reason.

Released at the beginning of September, this turn-based boardgame adaptation quickly became one of our favourite releases of the year, earning a well deserved four stars from Matt in his review. Refreshingly quick and yet still possessing great depth, it's a great candidate for a Black Friday buy.
